Q: How many coats of paint are needed?

• <div><p>You'll need at least two coats of paint when painting your stair railings, despite some manufacturers' claims of single-coat coverage. This is necessary mostly because there are often many corners and details that make it difficult to cover all surfaces evenly with a single coat. Adding a second coat evens out the finish and provides added durability. </p></div>

Q: How often should you paint the interior of your house?

• <div><p>You should repaint the interior of your house every 2 to 7 years, depending on which room needs repainting and how it's used. High-traffic areas like hallways, kitchens, and bathrooms need more frequent repainting&mdash;typically every 2 or 3 years. Living rooms and dining rooms, which you may use less frequently, can go as long as 5 to 7 years or even longer before they need to be repainted. </p></div>

Q: Can I hang artwork or shelves myself?

• <div><p>Yes, but professional services ensure secure installation, accurate leveling, and protection against wall damage, especially for heavy or valuable items.</p></div>

Q: How many gallons of paint do I need?

• <div><p>One gallon of paint can usually cover up to 400 square feet. Therefore, painting a one- or two-car garage door typically requires one gallon of paint, which should give you enough for the two to three coats experts recommend for this job. However, if you're painting a lighter color over a darker color, you might need more. Using primer can decrease the total number of coats of paint you need.</p></div>

Q: Can I paint latex over acrylic?

• <div><p>It&rsquo;s fine to paint over acrylic paint with latex paint as long as the surface is properly prepped. If your paint surface isn&rsquo;t glossy, you should be able to apply your paint or primer directly to it. If your acrylic surface is glossy, rough up the surface with some sandpaper first and use a <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/quick-primer-interior-painting.htm">good primer</a> to ensure proper adhesion for your latex paint.</p></div>

Phil and his crew rearranged their current jobs to ensure that our floors were refinished in time to get the painting done before our move-in date. We also asked them to remove all the baseboards and quarter round - which was good thing because then we could see how poorly the flooring had been...
